griffin-roaringThe Roaring Inside Her
Susan Griffin
2000 (reviewed by Julie Zamost)

Griffin explores the subtle but intricate connection between feminism and ecology by tracing the development of the patriarchy’s attitude toward both women and the natural world. She does this by presenting us with two voices posing conflicted visions of reality - the voice of science and the voice of nature. It is a brilliantly conceived and powerfully written view of a culture that prides itself on its objectivity and rationality, ultimately suppressing, appropriating, and violating nature, women being part of nature.
